Stallone will portray Ray Breslin, a world authority on structural security, who must escape from a maximum security prison of his own design. Ryan will play the character's business partner, D'Onofrio a business director and Jones a prison guard, Variety reports.

Schwarzenegger, who rejoined the project in February, will appear as a heroic prisoner who rallies the other convicts in their darkest hour. 50 Cent's role is yet to be confirmed.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger will also be seen together in The Expendables 2, which is in post-production and will debut in the summer.
